  1. You succeeded in logging in then? Obviously I cannot but I concede that when accessing the secure link I got an internal service error but the non-secure one was fine: Just to prove I'm not lying Anyway, if you did log in (I take it you did), submit a new support ticket here: https://support.xisto.com/index.php?_m=ts&_a=submit Tick the box named CH Support and mention the error you got. Thank you
  2. I get the impression this article is taking the mick: [/br]Such a common problem don't you think? Mac's solution is, naturally, amazingly practical: I just have to press three buttons at the same time and then minimise all my programs and then double-click to open the screenshot I just took! With Windows, it's so much easier. Simply [PrtSc], Windows-R, Type mspaint and then Ctrl+V. Simple. Honestly, if anyone could provide me with anything the least bit better about a Mac, I might consider going all the way up to London and actually buying one.

  4. My apologies for not replying, Windows XP went mad after I tried a technique I found on the Internet to improve my computer's speed (guess I had it coming I suppose ) Smokers know the risk of starting smoking: does that mean, then, that in the UK the NHS should not provide stop-smoking clinics for addicts and that adverts for cigarettes should not be banned? Despite, people knowing the risks, the government has intervened. A typical family has two parents who work from 9.30am - 5pm and get home at 6pm, tired and exhausted. They don't have the energy to make proper to dinner some of them. It's a lot easier to eat fast-food or stick something in the microwave. I can assure you that 500g of mincemeat; a few carrots, new potatoes and a broccoli is more expensive than a Big Mac and chips. The typical cold-blooded capitalist. People who are upset by being fat and are still eating fast-food are heading for depression. You've got to stop these seemingly petty issues before they develop otherwise you will have a much greater problem on your hands. And depression is terrible, takes years to get out off and leaves a permanent scar on your memory.
  5. What happened to your code? You've nested the HTML incorrectly. You've written the code this: <a><b><c> XYZ </a></b></c> When it should be: <a><b><c> XYZ </c></b></a> Also, in one line, you wrote: <th><tr><td> HEADING </th></td></tr> You've started a table cell (in tag <th>) outside of any table row! Also, <th> and <td> are treated exactly the same so <tr><th></th></tr> is valid on its own, without a <td>. So code like this: <table border="1" align="left"> <th><tr><td> HEADING </th></td></tr> <tr><td> SUB TEXT</tr></td> <tr><td><th>ANOTHER HEADING</tr></td></th> <tr><td> SUB TEXT</tr></td> </table> Should be: <table border="1" align="left"> <tr><th> HEADING </th></tr> <tr><td> SUB TEXT</td></tr> <tr><th>ANOTHER HEADING</th></tr> <tr><td> SUB TEXT</td></tr> </table> Compare the difference in terms of output: Looks quite trivial but in terms of output it's not. Good effort but you still have a fair bit of learning left to do!
  6. You see, this where the socialist side of me kicks in. If you look at various points in history where people have disagreed with governments intervening with the welfare of the people, it turns out that in the end intervention was the right thing to do. Example :: Liberal Reforms, UK, 1906 - 1914 The UK was in serious poverty and someone needed to do something. The Labour Party promised help and the Liberals were worried they'd lose votes to them so they introduced a series of Reforms to keep the punters happy. These reforms included helping children, the unemployed, the elderly and the sick. They were popular with everyone but the rich, the House of Lords and the Opposition. However, nowadays the government giving out benefits like this is applauded; in order words, it is acknowledged that the government should interfere with the welfare of the people. SO, let's NOT make the same mistake this time. Parents are poor, fast-food is cheap. Spot the link! Parents know full-well the dangers of this food but it's a choice between cheap food or starvation. If they were your children, what would you choose? You want the problem solved, this is how you solve it!
  7. The morbidly obese children are the ones who are fed the fast food from a young age at home by parents. And you can't blame them. Fast food is cheap and tasty food that young children enjoy, more importantly it's cheap. This means people on a low income can afford to feed their families. Solution? Tax fast-food and use the money to subsidise healthier foods or lift some of the taxes on oil or alcohol. Not the most popular solution but it will make healthy foods cheap and more desirable for poorer families. Also, if you ban ads for fast-food like they've done for cigarettes, then you decrease the demand by children for fast-food products. (Unfortunately, if you do this, the laws of supply and demand tell you that fast-food will become cheaper and increase the parents' want to buy it!)
  8. Theologian Richard Dawkins has developed a scale to measure strength of religious belief on a seven-point scale. They range from 1 (strong theist) to 7 (strong atheist). Dawkins himself claims to lie at 6.8 and has remarked that he would be surprised to meet anyone in point 7. Where do you stand?
  9. But if you were driving on the other side of the road, all you would see are missiles behind a car. That looks amazing though! It would be the perfect April Fool's joke...
  10. I'd like to add that there is a more user-friendly way to do STEP THREE, for those not comfortable with the registry: Start -> Right Click My Computer -> Properties -> Advance -> Performance -> Settings -> Advanced -> Memory Usage -> Select System Cache Then click OK and restart your computer.
  11. Hey, Basically, if you want a hosting account (10 or 30 credits), a free domain (250 credits) or a free sig or banner (10 posts). That's their only official use but if you're not here for the posting then, yes, there are a fun way for you to see how you're doing. Enjoy Xisto,
  12. This is where you can get honest reviews for your website, whether you are hosted by Xisto or not. This means that members not in the [HOSTED] member group can now get advice. Please note that you still need to be a "Member Level 1" or higher to post in this forum, just like all forums in the The Internet section. Thank you - electriic ink
  13. BuffaloHELP has fixed the permissions. Now non-hosted and hosted members are able to post in the Website Showcase forum.
  14. Don't bother, do as jlhaslip said and download Open Office. What the price of msoffice now anyway? * checks * ...?320 ?! Seriously, if you have that kind of money to spare, you should spend the weekend abroad instead. I use OpenOffice and there is no useful feature that isn't on that that is on msoffice. I recommend you download OpenOffice, try it for a week to see if it fits your needs and, then, if you find you can't bear it, go out and buy Microsoft's alternative.
  15. Because it goes with the chavvy image they're trying to create: Isn't it really part of a cycle anyway? You start going to parties at 14 / 15. The moment you do you discover alcohol. You get drunk. Then, if you're with the right people you find yourself going to parties with older children (who are 17+), most of who are on benefits. They persuade you into smoking and eventually on to drugs... But like I said it goes with the image: I know someone who's 14 and smokes and someone who's 16 and does cannabis. The smoker's one of those idiots who'd have you believe he could destroy the Mafia.
  16. Presumably, you were trying to start a new topic in the Website Showcase forum. I can only assume that this still only allows [HOSTED] members to start new topics there. There used to be a separate "Non-hosted Members" sub-forum but that got removed. Please post your topic in the General Talk forum for the time being, stating in it that you posted it that forum after being unable to start it in the correct one. I have started a new topic in the moderators and admins forum, specifically about this problem and hopefully we shall be able to resolve this issue. Thank you for reporting this problem
  17. Oh, now I think that's a bit different. China houses a third of the world in a relatively small land-mass. They would be irresponsible NOT to put limits of births. Overpopulation is a problem but that's in a whole different league. China is generally a terribly-run country and it's a shame they'll soon be the world's greatest superpower. As much as people hate the US, the US is a godsend compared to them. They'll have to sharpen up soon though or the UN will get them. @guangdian: What does it say when you try to access sites like YouTube?
  18. NO. The colour we see is. The actual colour of an object is set in stone. It just appears to be different under different lights. [1] It won't appear at all. By shining pure red light on to a pure blue object in an otherwise dark room, you will not be able to see that object. [2 ]Btw, just by shining light on an object, you won't affect it's colour permanently at all (unless by doing so, you alter it chemically). Yes I've designed the format already. I'm the presenter and you're my co-hosts
  19. The point is how do you pick these "wavelengths" up? If you can't tell me, you have to presume that it is impossible and so subtract them from the equation. If you don't, then you're taking unfounded ideas into account and tbh, that allows me to make anything up and call it fact (ie "the sky is actually purple, you just see it as blue because of the gas tesomerone tri-oxide that's surrounding it". We have always wondered: what's up there? If life is so abundant here, then how much of it is there above the sky and below the soil on the ground? My argument said that new ideas can only be formed from past experiences, yes. Life on Earth + sense of direction -> what life is there beyond the sky? You have to remember that thought is temporary - I've forgotten what I thought of the Sun when I first saw it because I could not document my ideas on paper. Someone millions of years ago could have discovered the secret to creating the universe and it would have been lost with the ages since then because they couldn't write. People think of new ideas all the time and they could very well be the same idea someone thought of the other week ... or millennia. And because of that, you can't really use them in making a point, which is why I ignored them. My definition of primary colours are colours that cannot be made by mixing two or more other colours together; only three of these exist: red, blue and yellow. Orange, for instance, can be made by mixing red and yellow, so it is not primary. [1] The actual colour does not change, it's just that a different light is reflected so it looks different[2] That's the problem. That statement is a far cry from your first post - how anything is possible and that aliens could beam new ideas into our brain. [1] Those people soon end up on drug rehabilitation programmes[2] I'm sure it is - what else could it be? [3] Could you please find proof to back up that claim? I roll a 6-sided die and guess the correct number 3 times in a row and it wins me £200 in bets. What a coincidence! The probability of this is . Unlikely but not impossible. [4] Oh yes, we can definitely think at a subconscious level if that's what you mean and it only becomes a usable though when it's "transferred" (or whatever it's called, I'm not much on psychological terminology) to a conscious level. We can thinking about things for days and days without realising it, particularly with complicated life problems, before we finally come to an answer or solution and whilst it may seem random, it is not. What "impulses" is it exactly you refer to? [5] Likewise, we cannot assume that our brains process other signals. It would be much more reasonable to assume that we only process information gathered from our five senses as that it all science has proven. By harnessing the power of the science behind they're ability to fly and replicating it artificially - We should have our own debate programme on daytime TV
  20. I was often frustrated at how, despite there being thousands of ASCII "special characters" such as &8659;, websites that claimed to list them all only listed the first 256. To combat this issue, I have created a table which lists the first 10,001 - from &#000; to &10000; I am sure there are many more but it is simply not feasible to create a table with many more rows as viewing it would put terrific strain on the browser.! You can download the file in two forms. One uses PHP to dynamically create the table (1KB), the other has it ready-made in pure HTML format (437KB). codes.php codes.html
  21. Sorry for neglecting your topic It does. That's what this part of the code does: $string = strstr ($input, '[shoutbox]'); // Removes all parts of string that are NOT [shoutbox]...[/shoutbox]$string = strstr ($string, '[/shoutbox]', true);$string = $string . '[/shoutbox]'; // End remove It removes all parts of input that are not [shoutbox]...[/shoutbox] and processes them separately. Unless you can see otherwise... BTW, what truefusion is saying about including files (I don't think you understand - sorry if you do) is this: You can't include a file like this: include 'file.php?id=1'; And have the code in file.php as: function ($_GET['id']); It doesn't work. If you want to "give" a variable to an included file, you have to this: $id = 1;include 'file.php'; And have the code in file.php as: function ($id);
  22. 91.3% of people lied when answering this poll. The question asks: Of course, no-one knows. He was referring to people's individual choices and not the make-up of the world. History repeats itself because people are generally incapable of learning from other's mistakes. It's human nature. (important points highlighted) You, my friend, must be careful. You are an inch away from religious extremism, an inch better than the 9/11 and 7/7 bombers.
  23. It's cheating on a grand scale but this would work: <form action="http://google.com/search" method="get" name="searchform">Search <input type="text" name="q"> <input type="submit" value="Search!" onclick="document.searchform.q.value+=' site:***insertsitenamehere.com***'"> </form><noscript><br> The search engine requires javascript to work</noscript> It saves creating tonnes of your own php code...
  24. [1] My point was that if these extra-terrestrials were beaming new thoughts into a brain then it could, theoretically, be possible to do that - to create something from nothing. The OP also made the point that anything and everything is possible: So I deliberately gave him an impossible task to counter his argument. [2] Interesting point and I'd have to agree with you. We don't create; we invent. edit: I love the contrast in our sigs - it's like we're nemeses
  25. Because you can hear them breathing and moving. Because usually in a conversation you're discussing something very specific. That nails it down. The person has already said a large amount of words in that sentence so you can "predict" very accurately, not 100% accuracy mind. Also bear in mind that words form a logical order and that very few words can sensibly follow another. For instance, "yesterday I was in my ....., planting a ....". Any idiot could guess both the words from reading my post, even someone in Australia, are you suggesting that fields of energy could therefore travel half way round the world to Australia? What a "noisy" place the world must be with all these energy fields... BTW, if you really can't work out what the gaps are see the bottom of my post. [1] No [2] No, never. [3] None, although it does happen. It's called coincidence. Are the energy fields limited to telephone conversations? Pretty useless... Imagination, which you seem to have lots of All new ideas are drawn from memory and previous experiences. The same way that everything I dream about is in some way related to or an amalgamation of my past. I ask you to invent a new primary colour - you can't because doing so would be completely new and there's nothing you or anyone else has seen/done for you start from. Of course, you can get your extra-terrestrial beings to do that for you. Why bother come so low? I've already proven that energies can travel as far as Australia, 10,000 miles away from here (England). The exosphere, the uppermost point of the Earth's atmosphere is, at most, 6,200 miles away. Surely it's not worth the risk of being caught to travel so close? But they still get spotted. We could shoot them down very easily. They ARE NOT safe there. Now your assuming things. These paragraphs are FULL of conditional statements, see bold. I wish you could cite the source and say how many times they did it "again and again". Were the two groups of a similar IQ and intelligence (as in the difference in IQs between groups A and B is less than 1 point)? Your mum had ammonia poisoning and a woman's children were in trouble. I fail to see the link... [1] No, funny science can't detect them and I bet it never will. Convenient that... [2] Not yet. In millions of years' time when our true understanding of life is superior to that of any invented phenomena or deity. Then, maybe then, will we be able do anything. Just to prove we cannot now, I ask you, once again, to invent a new primary colour. [hr=shade]It's "garden" and "tree".[/hr]
